It’s just the app…. you need to use an app to interact with almost all services these days. Maybe you are referring to having choice to be unintuitive? Sure it’s more work and you have to think about what fits most your needs but i think it’s a net benefit to be even have to choice.

I don't get why Piefed isn't an app itself? It's like saying you need and app in order to use Instagram? It doesn't make any sense to me at all. If Piefed wants to be an alternative to Instagram, it needs to be an integrated app - not a service that is depending on running on third party software in order to work.

Not who you responded to.

It's like saying you need and app in order to use Instagram

That's exactly what your Instagram app is: An application to use the Instagram "service". The only difference is that the app is developed by the same people who develop the Instagram service.

it needs to be an integrated app

In some cases, an app is even just another design of the same web page you visit with your browser. The Netflix app you have on your Windows PC is just the web page wrapped in a certain way so that it looks like a program you find on your computer.

That list up there are what you call "integrated apps".
